Course Overview

We train students to critically examine and analyze the world within and around them—skills that can be applied to teaching, curriculum development, corporate cultures, legal contexts, intercultural communication, forensics, artificial intelligence, publishing, counseling, speech pathology, and child development. Knowledge of how and why we use language brings us closer to understanding who we are and how we can affect our worlds.

  • The nature and structure of language
  • Principles and methods of language analysis and documentation
  • Relationships between language, mind, and cognition
  • The nature and process of language acquisition and multilingualism
  • Relationships between language and cultural, national, social, and personal identity
